A case is reported of the rare lesion occult intrasacral meningocoele in a 27-year-old woman who developed symptoms for the first time shortly after the birth of her fourth child. The terminology of the condition is discussed and its pathogenesis, mode of presentation, and treatment reviewed.

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging mammography is performed to determine the extent of lesions and to detect occult lesions, but preoperative diagnosis by breast computed tomography (CT) is less common. METHODS We performed a retrospective study of detection of mammographically occult multiple lesions using breast CT. The subjects were 407 female patients (median age: 56 years old; median ...

a b s t r a c t introduction:we investigated differential role of cortical and subcortical regions in verbal and non-verbal sound processing in ten patients who were native speakers of persian with unilateral cortical and/or unilateral and bilateral subcortical lesions and 40 normal speakers as control subjects. methods: the verbal tasks included monosyllabic, disyllabic dichotic and diotic tas...

Efferent auditory pathways have been implicated in sound localization and its plasticity. We examined the role of the olivocochlear system (OC) in horizontal sound localization by the ferret and in localization learning following unilateral earplugging. Under anesthesia, adult ferrets underwent olivocochlear bundle section at the floor of the fourth ventricle, either at the midline or laterally...

The laparoscopic adrenalectomy is considered as the procedure of choice for the treatment of adrenal hyperplasia and tumor lesions. However, some special situations may limit the use of this method due to the difficulty to locate the gland and perform the lesion excision. We analyze 2 patients of a left adrenal tumor, explaining how they have overcome the difficulties in both situations. The fi...

Athletes participating in noncontact sports involving abduction and external rotation of the shoulder (e.g., throwing) may develop occult recurrent subluxation manifested only as pain. The lack of contact trauma preceding symptoms, the failure of the athlete to appreciate the instability, the relative rarity that the lesion has been previously recognized and reported, and the lack of objective ...

Skin cancer has been the most usual and illustrates 50% of all new cancers detected each year. If they detected at an early stage, treatment can become simple and economically. Accurate skin lesion segmentation is important in automated early skin cancer detection and diagnosis systems. The aim of this study is to provide an effective approach to detect the skin lesion border on a purposed imag...
